"Open, open the city gate!"
Resisting the thought of slapping the bastards in front of him to death, the fat county magistrate pointed to the dilapidated city gate in front of him and shouted with a trembling voice.
"Ah? Open the city gate?"
"Sir! The thieves outside just barely managed to break in!"
"That's right! Those people are all riding war horses! If this opens the door..."
Several guards were happily crowding around the magistrate to claim credit, but suddenly they heard an order to open the city gate! Everyone was so dumbfounded that no one obeyed the order and opened the city gate.
"I'll let you open the city gate!"
Seeing that these idiots had not made any move, the fat county magistrate's pent-up anger finally burst out!
He suddenly raised his hand and slapped the guard at the front three times, spinning him around three times. Before the dizzy guard could stand upright, the fat magistrate kicked him again. He kicked him five or six steps away on the spot and fell heavily into the city gate hole. He couldn't get up for a long time.
"grown ups!?"
Everyone present was confused by this sudden scene. They had no idea why the usually good-tempered county magistrate would become so angry for no reason!
There were only a few smart guards who suddenly thought of the bald man's shouting at the bottom of the city, and when they contacted the county magistrate's weird behavior just now, they immediately felt nervous!
There were even those who had just shot arrows down, and now their whole bodies were shaking uncontrollably!
Only then did they realize that what the fierce bald man just said might be true! He really might be a general! Otherwise, how could you let your own county magistrate come here desperately like his ancestors?
"Mom! First rank?! How big an official is that? I, the county magistrate, am only seventh rank..."
On weekdays, when I see the county magistrate, I treat him as a bastard of Lord Qingtian. When have I ever thought that one day I would be able to see a first-class official?
As for shooting an arrow at a first-rank official with your own hands...
Even in their wildest dreams, this is something they would never dare to think about!
"It's over, it's over! I can't survive now!"
"No, while not many people know about it now, I have to call my mother-in-law and run away..."
The guard's face that noticed this kept changing, and his figure even retreated involuntarily!
As for opening the door? What door to open! Open the door and wait for people to enter the city, tie yourself up, and take you to the market entrance to chop off your head for fun? Only a fool would do this!
"Don't open the door yet!" Venting his anger, the panting fat magistrate turned his head and stared at the other guards fiercely!
Will they survive? How can I survive!
Oh my God, Liu Hongji, the general of the Sixteenth Guards, and Xiao Han, the Marquis of Sanyuan County!
These two famous bosses in the Tang Dynasty suddenly drove to their small county town together. As a result, they were greeted by their subordinates with bows and arrows before they even entered the door. Their lives and deaths are still uncertain!
When I think of this, no matter how good-tempered the fat county magistrate is on weekdays, he now has the intention to kill!
"Master, I, my stomach hurts!"
"Me too, I can't bear it anymore..."
Looking at the magistrate's eyes as if he wanted to eat someone, one of the guards suddenly bent over, covered his stomach and screamed, and then ran away without waiting for the magistrate to say anything!
The first guard raised his head, and the others immediately reacted! Ignoring the furious magistrate, they dropped their weapons one by one and ran away!
So, in just a moment, there was only a mess on the ground in front of the city gate, and the county magistrate who was trembling with anger. Oh, I almost forgot, there was also the kicked one lying on the ground, moaning bitterly. `The unlucky guy groaned.
"My lord! My lord! Wait for me..."
Just as many guards dispersed and fled for their lives, behind them, the county magistrate who ran to the county government to report the news finally followed.
As the deputy of the county magistrate, the county magistrate is usually responsible for the security and patrol of the entire county. He often needs to follow him from village to village, so his body has always been strong.
But he never expected that after receiving the news of the arrival of Liu Hongji and others today, the usually slow-moving county magistrate would suddenly run faster than a rabbit! In the blink of an eye, he was far behind, and he finally caught up.
"Sir! What, why haven't you opened the door yet? Where are those...those bastards?" The county magistrate, who was almost out of breath, staggered to the fat county magistrate's side, leaning on his knees with his hands, panting heavily and asked the magistrate.
"Open the door?" The fat county magistrate was so angry that he was trembling all over. When he heard this, he suddenly jumped up, pointed at the magistrate's nose and yelled: "They are all good soldiers led by you! How dare you shoot the Duke and the Marquis indiscriminately! There are dozens of people lying outside now. If the Marquis and the Duke scratch their skin inside, neither of us will want our heads!"
"Huh??? Why, this is happening!"
The county magistrate was scolded by the county magistrate, and he was called stupid on the spot! Especially after hearing that there are dozens of people lying outside now, their mouths are open enough to fit a fist!
He never imagined that something like this could happen here at the city gate when he just ran in a panic to deliver a message!
No wonder I just saw a few guards running through the street in a daze!
At that time, he thought these people had received some kind of order, but now he thought about it: they must have known that they had caused a big disaster, so they ran away in a hurry!
"What...what should I do!" Stomping his feet, the county magistrate also knew that it would be useless to hold anyone responsible at this time! So I had to place all my hopes on my immediate boss, hoping that he could find a way to save the head on top of his head.
"What should we do? Open the city gate first!"
After venting his anger, the fat county magistrate calmed down, gritted his teeth, looked at the city gate fiercely, and shouted in a low voice!
"But, what if the Duke and the Marquis are really injured?" The county magistrate was so worried that he rubbed his hands and asked!
If these two court officials were really shot and wounded by one of their own men, then it would probably be as the county magistrate said, even beheading would be considered a minor offense!
"At this point, we can only take one step and watch one step!" The fat county magistrate gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice: "If it is really irreversible, then let all the refugees in! When the time comes, we will take advantage of the chaos and go our separate ways. Something!”
"Ah, is it possible?" The county magistrate was startled when he heard this, and then he raised his head and looked blankly at his immediate boss, who usually acted like a good man.
"There is no way! Our Ningcheng has been in disrepair for a long time. The refugees broke into the city and burned and slaughtered everything! General Liu Hongji and the Marquis of Sanyuan County tried their best to stop it, but they were still killed by the refugees!"
